Duphalac 667 mg/ml oral solution 500 ml

Duphalac is an over-the-counter medicine containing a laxative called lactulose. It softens the stool and makes it easier to pass by drawing water into the intestine. The product is not absorbed into the body.

Without a doctor's recommendation, Duphalac can be used to treat constipation (infrequent bowel movements, hard and dry stools) and conditions where soft stools are required.

Only after consulting a doctor, Duphalac can be used to treat hepatic encephalopathy (brain damage due to liver failure with neurological and psychiatric symptoms).

The preparation can be used by children and adults. However, use in children (including infants and toddlers) should be exceptional and always under medical supervision.
